Here’s another place in Calgary where there is lots of dancing of all sorts plus instruction. American syllabus is taught along with International technique. Good parking and a main dance floor with at least one other smaller dance floor.

There are lessons every day but ‘drop-in’ is only available occasionally and on Fridays at 8pm. There are also expensive courses similar to Arthur Murray – although I’ve not been pressured to take advantage of them. Dances are Waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, samba, tango, jive, salsa, WCS, ECS, Country Western, Nightclub waltz, hip hop and more.

Run byThu Luu, who has just come back from BC where he was guest teaching with local Victoria teacher Wanda Kivitt! Small world.

This studio has no less than three fantastic and completely separate large wooden floors, which he rents out to various dance teachers and are available for country western and ballroom classes.

On weekends he holds a social dance on Sunday, and quieter ones on Friday and Saturday. Occasionally he holds a potluck. Great evening and friendly people, average age 40s and 50s. His dances have a free lesson beforehand – a really good evening out with lots of dancing and good music. Dances are Waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, samba, tango, jive, salsa, WCS, ECS and more.
